The Risti railway station was a stop on the Tallinn-Haapsalu line. The railway line was in a state of disrepair and was finally closed in 2004 (though the last passenger service ran in 1995). A fate that befell several railway lines in Estonia.
In the hope of preserving the track for a possible future rebuilding of the railway line, the main track has been converted into a bicycle road. In the photo below you can see the bicycle path pass the platform of the former Risti railway station.
As a reminder of times long gone, the old water tower and water crane to service steam trains are still there.
